This can be read two ways. One is to expect the workers to love their job. The other is that the CEO should thrive to make the work experience so good that people don’t want to be parted from their job.
So it can be read as an admission that he has failed so far to make the work environment as good as it can be.
At a truly great job the boss is happy you’re going to go spend a week off for your friend’s wedding or that you’re finally getting to see a country you’ve always wanted to. They know that you’ll come back rested and be better of a worker for having had time off
And a truly terrible boss is mad you’re using the benefits provided instead of donating those benefits to “the company”.
And also knows when you come back from that week off, you’ll be regretting having to work for them and considering finding someone else to slave for.
Honestly, loving one’s job doesn’t mean never needing a break. Working Class jobs pay because they are hard work that you need to pay someone to do. Whether or not you enjoy the work doesn’t change the fact that it is hard work.
I am extremely privileged with my job. I don’t get paid as well as my counterparts elsewhere but the personality and leadership style of my superiors has kept me here. I don’t expect I’d be able to do what I do how I do it anywhere else. Considering all this, I wouldn’t say I love my job. There are parts that are tedious and unpleasant. However, I do like my job. Even the parts I like are challenging and can be exhausting. I still need a break occasionally.
The way I read it is a “task failed successfully” situation. He did suceeded in making a work place with good PTO policies and people do actually use them (meaning staffing levels are confortable for the workload). However, his mindset is stuck in linked-in poster / grind mode and can not fathom that his employees dont want to be at work as much as he does.
